#49 Feather

Hola! ¿Cómo están?

Time is such an interesting thing here in the mission. My whole
perception of time has completely changed since I have been here in
Oregon. The days can be long at times, but the weeks, months, and
transfers go so fast it is incredible. It's crazy to me to think that
another transfer is ending. I am staying here in the Beaverton West
area, but I am getting a new companion who is not really new to me...
Elder Acosta! After about three months apart, we though it was time to
get back together. Haha nah but seriously it was like two transfers
ago I was with that guy haha.

This week has been amazing though! We got to teach Natalia a couple of
times this week! More specifically, we taught her the importance of
recognizing the spirit. She has expressed to us that she feels the
spirit when we are at her house, but when we leave it leaves with us.
We told her some of the ways that she can feel it on her own and how
when she is baptized she will be able to feel it all the time! It was
a really good lesson and she is making great progress towards baptism.

Fun Fact: Not a single new Spanish elder has entered the Oregon
Portland Mission since I got here. I am still the youngest Spanish
missionary in the mission and I will be hitting my year mark this
month! We were expecting some new ones to come in this transfer, but I
guess not. Crazy stuff! I hope you all have a great week! I love every
one of you!
